Takamaka Kreol Cask (Reserve Dark Rum)
Chocolate and cocoa lead here, wrapped in soft sweetness with light spice behind — one taster notes the fruit fades on the palate while the coffee and roasted wood step forward. It's clearly on the sweet side and pretty easy-going at 40%. A few members call the body thin with a short finish, but as an evening dark rum from the Seychelles it delivers a fair bit of chocolate-forward character.

How does Takamaka Kreol Cask (Reserve Dark Rum) taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Sweet, chocolate-forward easy dark rum Well-liked as an easygoing evening pour with good value; the catch is a thin body and short finish, and it won't win over anyone chasing complexity.

In der Nase Trockenfrüchte, Kakao, Schokolade. Die Früchte verschwinden im Geschmack komplett, dafür intensive Schokolade-/Kakao-Noten mit gut eingebundener Süße und etwas Gewürz. Im Abgang pfeffirige Schärfe. Interessantes Dark Rum Profil, das sich deutlich von Jamaica (Myers's, Blackwell) und Demerara abhebt, pur mMn. tatsächlich besser, da keine Bitternoten. Drinks: - Pur: 4/5 - Rum Cola: 3.5/5 - Rum Punch: 4/5

During a masterclass by Takamaka, I tasted various rums. This lineup is certainly fine for an evening. I’ve had several at home myself and they are nice as a change of pace. Good rum for a good price.
Review by Timo Groeger
Shopbesuch Rum Paradise Hamburg Dezember 2025. Und der letzte Rum, welchen wir bei Herrn Karp probieren durften. Vielen Dank dafür. Bei Takamaka gab es diesen ja nicht, von daher war ich froh ihn hier probieren zu dürfen. Soll wohl ein Blend sein aus Takamaka und einem unbekannten Rum. Leicht süß, aber ok.

#6998 05.07.2026 Time to relax after my wifes birthday guests have left. Listening nto some nice EDM on Spotify at the same time. Price to quality a very good rum in my mind. Well balanced profile with fruits, sweetness, caramel, chocolate, light tobacco and roasted wood.

11/05/2026: Advent calender: Le Monde des Rhums 2025. The nose instantly reminded me of baked, caramalized bananas. Pretty sweet aroma and palate. Very thin on the palate though and the finish is almost non-existent.
Review by Andreas Renöfält
Not bad. Definitely on the sweet side and not very complex. But absolutely worth the money.
Review by Marco14
Une agréable surprise, un nez boisé épicé, une douce vanille, un léger caramel. En bouche on retrouve les mêmes choses. Gourmand juste ce qu'il faut. Manque un peu de peps et de longueur.
